Convert in game manuals to book/pamphlet form - Frank_Stein - 12-03-2017

Something that occurred to me:

We've got an older patch that added the ability to make books by stapling together different papers to create books, where you can turn the pages go to different sections

We've also got large in game manuals like To Serve Man, which are long text scrolls

I was thinking, we could take some of those manuals and break them down into different sections for legibility

So for something like To Serve Man, you make a page for Main Courses, Side dishes, Desserts, etc

Then you make a Page at the beginning of the book that acts as your glossary, directing you to the sections you'd like to look up. Just find the part you want, and turn to that page

If you want to get fancy, add a way to link bits of text to different pages, so you can click a word and go directly to that page or entry

I am highly supportive of this quality of life change, especially with each recent food addition.

This is definitely a good idea, even without the links thing.
